As I'm looking out my bedroom window at the foot of snow on the ground out there, I am glad I got out over the past week or so with the Boy to do our thrift store run. Fortunately, I found a few good books to curl up with before the big storm hit. This is what I got this week:
From Paperbackswap:
- Critique of Criminal Reason by Michael Gregorio
- Wicked Company by Ciji Ware
Won from the PBS Blog:
- The Highest Stakes by Emery Lee
For Review:
- The Technologists by Matthew Pearl
From B&N (w/gift card hubby's grandpa found at his house that he wasn't going to use):
- The Fifth Servant by Kenneth Wishnia
- The Crown Rose by Fiona Avery
- New York by Edward Rutherfurd
- Pearl of China by Anchee Min
- The Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou
From Library Book Store (for a total of $2.50!):
- Calico Palace by Gwen Bristow
- Horns by Joe Hill
- Shirley by Charlotte Bronte
- Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Also in keeping with my resolution to read at least 1 library book a month I checked out Aztec Blood by Gary Jennings and The Mercy Seller by Brenda Rickman Vantrease. That's it for me this week. Hope everyone had a wonderful mailbox!
I've never these before.
ReplyDeleteHere is mine
Wicked Company looks good. I read a book by Ciji Ware a few months ago and I really liked it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a huge mailbox! enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteYour mailbox was really busy this week. I love library sales they offer such great deals.
ReplyDeleteHere what came in my mailbox
The Ciji Ware books looks good. I like her writing. You got some great ones this week. Enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteI think I read Calico Palace once upon a time; I certainly recognize Bristow's name.
ReplyDeleteGreat mailbox! I have The HIghest Stakes on the shelf as well as one or two Ciji Ware novels.
ReplyDeleteA foot of snow!? You can keep it. You got so many great looking books! I've heard Horns is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteA great mix of books, wow! a foot of snow.

Very nice haul! I've been wanting to read New York by Edward Rutherford.
ReplyDeleteYou had a great week. I'm going to be reading The Technologists this month. Slaughter House Five is a great choice, one of my favorite books.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, a foot of snow. Makes me feel almost lucky we only got 4 inches in my town last week.
I will stop complaining about our little snow. A foot of snow is not fun! But it can be a great time to read if you don't have to go out in it. Great mailbox! I am curious about New York and Pearl.
ReplyDeleteA foot of snow -- wow-- at least you are well stoked in reading material. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLots of great books this week, Holly! I hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteAs for the snow, I feel your pain, we've got more than enough already but there is more on the way :-(
I pretty much want one of everything you've gotten! Ciji Ware has long been on my TBR -- I really need to start her(?) books!
ReplyDeletejust found your blog by surfing around and following comments :) looks like you have some GREAT new stuff to read! really looking forward to your reviews.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to read more! now happily following along.

Oh my! How did I possibly miss that Edward Rutherford had written another epic?! Must look into that.
